No One But You novel Chapter 73

To my surprise, I was lying peacefully in bed. After reading the instructions, Brooke put the medicine bottle back on the bedside table. Then he turned around and walked to the door, leaving some emotionless words, “I’ll let Stella bring you some plain porridge.”

As long as he didn’t send me a coffin, I would be thankful.

It really surprised me that he was so calm.

I wondered if Brooke knew I lied to him.

He thought that as a mother, I would not take the medicine that was harmful to the baby for the sake of a momentary pleasure.

I had been lying in the bed like this for three days. The stomach ache gradually disappeared after aching for a while.

Except that I was sad when my stomach ached, I felt pretty good the rest of the time.

Since I was lying in bed and couldn’t go anywhere, naturally I didn’t need to see people coming and going in Knight’s house.

Mrs. Knight came to visit me every day and sometimes she would even bring me some tonics that she stewed which she thought were good for my stomach.

But as for Brooke’s mother, that is, the chief wife of Mr. Knight, I hadn’t seen her at all during these three days.

I thought she should at least come by my room to take a look at me, even affectedly. But she didn’t try to pretend at all.

It had been exceptionally quiet these days when I was lying in bed. I could eat and drink while lying and didn’t need to see Calvin and Fairy Dixon.

Unfortunately, Fairy Dixon actually came to my room.

I pretended to fall asleep, with my eyes shut. She sat beside my bed and didn’t attend to leave, sharpening her nails with a nail clipper, which really annoyed me.

I couldn’t stand it and opened my eyes to throw a glance at her, “What’s the matter, sister?”

“I heard that you were sick, so I came to have a look.” She raised one of her eyes, and continued to sharpen her nails.

“Since now you’ve seen I’m fine, you could leave now.” I said.

“You wouldn’t be able to see me tomorrow.” It seemed she said it with a proud smile.

“Are you dying tomorrow?” That was a pretty good news.

“Honeymoon.” She threw me a word leisurely and stared at my face.

What would she expect me to do when I heard it? Jumping angrily up and down on the bed? Did she think I was her?

“Oh.” I replied coldly, and didn’t ask her where to go. I knew she would still say it even if I didn’t ask. But I just wouldn’t ask, to tease her.

As expected, she couldn’t help telling me seeing that I didn’t ask, “Calvin has been busy at work and had no time for vacation, so we are going to Maldives and enjoy life.”

“Now the nouveau riche all go to Maldives.” I sneered, “If you happen to run into some coal bosses, you could actually play mahjong together.”

She looked at me with pity, as if it was just sour grapes and I was jealous because I couldn’t come.”

I wouldn’t let her tell it even if I was jealous.

God knows how she managed to arrange for this honeymoon.

I waved at her to move closer to me.

She leaned suspiciously towards me, “What?”

“Do you know what the most important preparation is before you go on your honeymoon?”

“What?” She looked at me inexplicably.

“Watch out for your husband of course, in case he runs away anytime.”

She widened her eyes and stared, probably because I outraged her susceptibility, which is what she worried about most.

I knew Calvin didn’t love me, but he hated Fairy Dixon, which she also knew.

Only she knew clearly how she made Calvin to go on a honeymoon with her willingly.

She couldn’t sit any longer and stood up from the chair abruptly. She stood in front of my bed and glared at me.

I closed my eyes and called out to Stella, “Send Miss Dixon out.”
